Harvey Goldstein is a prominent American businessman who lives in Singapore and consults primarily in Indonesia. Due to his extensive experience in the field of management consulting in the international arena, Harvey Goldstein has made his mark in private sector growth in the Asia Pacific region. He is one of the founders of Manchester Group, Ltd., and his experience in the field serves as an impetus to the development of consultancy services within the international community.

The idea behind consultancy is to help clients, mainly other companies, streamline their operations and improve their profitability. Clients focus on their core business while hired consultants work in the areas performing below par. Consultancy firms like the Manchester Group gather expertise as they work for clients facing similar issues. Comprising four members, Harvest International, Interact, Manchester Associates Ltd., and Altman Inc., the Group helps clients identify and develop lucrative investment opportunities, create feasibility analyses and negotiate contracts.

In Indonesia, Harvest International provides consulting support and services focusing on problems specific to the Indonesian political economy. These include legislation and investment issues in autonomous regions, and challenges in relations with local governments.
